Heat source simulation structure

Abstract

A heat source simulation structure includes a heating body and a heating member to form a simulation heat source main body for conducting heat. The simulation heat source main body is enclosed in an outer case and a heating substrate with electrical insulation and heat insulation properties to avoid dissipation of the heat. The heating member is electrically connected with an external power supply for heating the heating body. A thermocouple member is disposed on the heating body corresponding to the heating member. A temperature monitoring port is connected with a data collection meter for recording the temperature of the heating body. By means of the heat insulation design enclosing the simulation heat source main body, the contact thermal resistance between the heating member and the heating body is reduced, further to lower the heat loss of the heat source simulation structure and enhance the measurement precision and reliability.

 a carrier body, being heat-insulative and electro-insulative and including a base seat having a top surface, a heating substrate disposed on a top side of the base seat, and a temperature monitoring port disposed on the base seat for electrically connecting with a data collection meter; 
 an outer case, being heat-insulative and electro-insulative and having a case bottom frame and a case cover connected with the case bottom frame, the case bottom frame correspondingly capped on the carrier body and located on the top surface of the base seat, the outer case and the carrier body together defining internally therebetween a receiving space, the case cover having a notch; and 
 a heat source main body including:
 a heating body covered by the outer case in the receiving space and disposed on the heating substrate in contact with the heating substrate, at least one through hole being disposed on one side of the heating body, other sides of the heating body enclosed by the outer case and the carrier body, wherein the data collection meter records the temperature of the heating body via the temperature monitoring port;
